I have attended four home parties in the past 12 months (which is only a fraction of those that I've been invited t0). This means that at least once per quarter, I am obliged to buy something that I do not want nor need from a friend or neighbor. Now, I realize that it could be much worse. We are no longer in the days of door-to-door salespeople, and there are lots of wonderful products out there being sold by women just like me. I am eager to support their efforts. But, come on. If I don't wear make-up, and I have expressed having no interest in wearing or purchasing make-up, why would someone insist on inviting me to their make-up party?
The food is good, the friends are good, and I even enjoy a few hours away from home once in awhile. I am not, however, in love with this new requirement for living and working in a suburb... attending home parties and pretending to enjoy products that no one really needs.
By the way, I have nothing against wall art, jewelry, candles, or make-up. They certainly make the world a prettier and more fragrant place to be!
